15 Sewing & Crafting Hacks from Dollar Tree! EVERYTHING JUST $1!!!

[@user-up6hv7ug4m]

Dollar tree backpacks work well for a small collection of clasps and d-rings, also.😉

[@hildaperkins3054]

I like the flannel tablecloth as the design wall. GREAT IDEAS

[@michellemiles477]

Awesome ideas!! I never thought of deconstructing dog collars for the connectors and d rings!!! [looks for car keys to head to the DT]!!

[@jaygeecee13]

I've bought the dog collars to use as chest straps for back packs, but never thought of deconstructing them for other uses! I definitely need to do this! Also, I grab carabiners anytime I can find them there!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Tim, I really really enjoyed watching you take us all through those amazing things from Dollar Tree. So useful and helpful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ecologytoday]

Thank you for pointing out readily available and inexpensive items that can be used for other sewing purposes. Many serious sewers always assume a deep wallet while low income people such as I want options to make practical or pretty items. I often view low cost items as materials for projects and not necessarily what is their manufactured purpose. BTW Fabric stores are far away and outside my budget. I have to look at other options.

[@timothytotten9409]

Glad to hear it. I have another video coming in a few weeks about unusual places to find fabric and sewing tools.

[@ecologytoday]

@@timothytotten9409 I sent you a message on your business page with a list of many more Dollar Tree sewing possibilities

[@sheilajones9076]

good to know about the flannel tablecloth i sure need one.

[@suemccullough6482]

Brilliant idea the vacuum sealing bag for fabric! I have lots of fabric hanging about and an extra bag that I can use. Thanks, Tim.

[@user-bv6cy6nf9r]

Your kitchen towel tutorial just came up today in my feed! So I'm 2 programs into your devine tutorials! You are so clever, I'm hooked! I stopped the first show and subscribed half way through it! SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR WONDERFUL CHANNEL❣️ I'm going to use the over the chair holder backwards, to hold that pocket full of pillow stuffing with the top sewn closed-on my smaller chairs for a lumbar support! Won't have to carry my lumbar pillow around all day for each seat. Your cleverness has already sparked my imagination! Thanks for sharing your great ideas, and the DT products-which has just improved my daily life,❣️❣️ Looking forward to catching up w all your previous programs this week! Love your detailed, casual and concise style. And use of things easily available or on hand in my sewing corner. Thanks for sharing! G3 from Arizona

[@phyllisdippert2216]

Great ideas! I have such a tiny sewing space, so i used a flannel backed tablecloth cut to fit a doorway. I put it up with a tension rod and roll it up to store it. Thanks!

[@charleneashton4363]

I love the vacuum storage bags - for winter blankets and extra duvets.

[@enidthomas2770]

I just love your ideas dear Timothy. Unfortunately, here in Australia, those stores don’t sell things for a dollar no longer. You’re so lucky! Thank you so much for all your good ideas.

[@andreasutter8411]

i know that I am a year late and it doesnt have anything to do with sewing directly, but the over the chair holder works great on a chair lift (the kind that go up and down stairs).

[@jenjenssewingpile]

Wow, I have seen other videos about the dollar store but this one makes me want to go right now. What a great idea with the ball and box! I think I am going to buy a few for the different pins that I use with the label on the bottom since the box is so cute 😍 thank you for such great dollar store ideas❣

[@andreaprince978]

Tim, I am, this very moment, traveling from Union City, TN to my birthplace, Jackson, Michigan. I cajoled my son to stop at...Dollar Tree!! I bought 2 skeins of jute and some mini square, wooden blocks, along with candy and drinks; I also bought a 28mm rotary cutter and 6x8 inch self-healing mat. Great, great, great finds. I wasted no time in trying both (I used them on a piece of quilt square I conveniently had in the car), and to my surprise both worked very efficiently. I dare say the blade on the cutter was as sharp as my brand new costly rotary, and the mat showed nary a scratch. This brief stop was definitely worth it. By the way, I think I love you, so what are we so afraid of...sorry, just had to break into song. Seriously, I love watching your tutorials (you're actually one of two things I watch on my phone religiously. The other is "Elementary" on Hulu. I think I've watched it about 10 times back to back in the past 6 months. I'm not compulsive at all. P.s. I'm 55 and have been sewing since age 9. You do the math. God bless you and your work

[@lorenabort9717]

Love your channel, might I add one more thing from the Dollar Tree...I but the frosted plastic cutting mats 2/pack. They're perfect for making templates or small patterns!

[@teddineevel199]

They can also be cut to size for extra support in the bottom of tote bags or used to prevent paint bleed through when custom decorating on fabric items.

[@charlenegriffis5900]

WOWSA! Thanks Tim for the amazing hacks! I just walked by flannel tablecloth and said nah, I don't need that. Yes I do! Keep doing what you do. Love your content 🙂👍❤️

[@Mamima19]

So many thanks ... I love the dollar stores and know you have open my eyes

[@germ6749]

Wow! Great ideas! Thank you!

[@Midnitescarlett]

I always like ur videos even before I watch them because I know I will love them and I also don't want to forget! Again, awesome content!

[@Midnitescarlett]

Also, up here in Ontario, Canada, we have one and everything is $1.25. The Awesome! cleaners are amazing, and we can get pretty much everything you mentioned! It is a lifesaver, as our other dollar store is always from 1 to 4 dollars for items and are not always worth it. Thanks Tim! I made a list already... I will have to wait until lockdown is over - apparently craft and sewing items are non essential?? Blows my mind, especially because I make masks and sometimes need to pick things up for masks, however, we are almost to the end, so I am compiling my lists!

[@hadleywooten3689]

The over the chair storage thing would be awesome for you phone and charger!!

[@freespirit3891]

Unfortunately we're in a small community and have a small store. My sister lives in Pottstown, and has 1 3x larger than us. Can't wait to visit her (50 miles from here) so i can bring back alot of the 'goodies' you describe. 💜 your channel!

[@NoemieOrtiz]

Thanks. For all your Smart and ideas in using items from family dollar store.I loved your ideas.Amen !🙏♥️🙏🙌🤗

[@jago4673]

Dollartree has round zippered earbud cases. Also known as tech case. These are great to store rotary blades.

[@DawnDavidson]

Brilliant idea!

[@anncantlin9710]

Yes I tape these flannel backed table clothes to my glass sliding doors and have a Hugh wall for arranging my blocks

[@dianeb100]

I found myself saying oh wow, that's a great idea through your video. Fantastic ideas. I am impressed by the dog collar idea the most. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@jjaymia]

I’ve been using the idea for sheet protectors and binder for my patterns, I thought I was some kind of master mind for thinking of it 😆. I’m definitely trying that pin cushion idea.

[@dianemayer8450]

Tim, you may not want to attach a magnet onto a computerized machine. It could scramble the programs.

[@timothytotten9409]

I don’t use a machine with computers in it. But for those who do, it might be worth making sure you know where your computer is. Most computerized machines aren’t made with metal cladding near the electronics, but it’s good to double check.

[@christinadarque8246]

One of the best $1 store vids I’ve seen in a while. Gonna get a couple of those book lights tomorrow! Thnx Tim 😊💜👍🏻

[@bettysilsbee879]

Love the table cloth idea. Great video.👍

[@hadleywooten3689]

Table cloths are great for projects but if you put a long magnet in a sleeve at the top and one on the wall it for put holes on your wall and can be taken down and put back up quickly!!

[@bargainmama5860]

if you got a large dog collar, you would probably have enough webbing for handles for a bag. I was recently trying to find some of this hardware, and couldn't so I am happy for this tip.

[@Lady-Seawulf]

Great list of DT items. You're the second person I've heard recommend LA's Awesome cleaner, guess I'll have to try it. As for the flannel backed table cloth, it's wonderful to use and transport to class.

[@timothytotten9409]

Try the cleaner! It's AWESOME! LOL

[@jaygeecee13]

My husband swears by that stuff too!

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

Thise dish drying mats make excellent zipper pouches that are quite sturdy. I have received many requests for them.

[@timothytotten9409]

That's cool! I will have to try to make one.

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

@@timothytotten9409 I have been making the boxy pouches, using the trim next to the zipper to make tabs on either end. I find that the tabs like to wobble around when I am sewing across the end, so I stick them down with masking tape on both sides of the stitching line, and I don’t have them going sideways on me.

Keep your super glue upright in the fridge when not in use, will last longer

Good point!

If you put your glue in the refrigerator it won't dry out. I put mine in a plastic sandwich bag so it can't leak and it will last a long time.

[@user-kp8vx6yw1f]

Our dollar tree store is now $1.25

[@timothytotten9409]

Yeah mine too! And I went in tonight and found good stuff but also an entire aisle of $3 to $5 stuff. Uh oh. It’s coming.

Does the fabric stick to the flannel backing?

Yes, typical quilting cottons do very easily.

The Dollar Tree charges $1.25 for everything. Items are no longer $1.00.

[@timothytotten9409]

Yeah, they’ve raised quite a few of their items. Of course, it’s impossible for KZbin videos made before the change to adjust.
